Chargers prep for ‘different’ season

Contrary to previous seasons, Heritage Hall golf coach Andy Bogert is preparing for a different kind of season from what he’s experienced so far.

“This year will be a bit different,” Bogert said. “I’ve always had five solid players but this year we’re only going to have four.”

The Chargers open their season this Monday at the Jenks Invitational at the Golf Club of Oklahoma.

In high school tournaments, teams count their four best scores but can field five players in the event.

“I’m probably going to be a lot of walking (with the fifth player,” the coach said. “Mostly, I’ll mainly be hep- ling him with course management.”

When a player gets in trouble, he’s more likely to try a miracle shot which can lead to more trouble rather than playing a more high-percentage shot, Bogert said.

“I try to tell the players that they can survive a bogey,” the coach said, “but doubles and triples can really kill your round.”

Senior Kyle McLaughlin is the Chargers’ top player, coming off a fourth-place finish at state last year.

Juniors Roger Smith and Drew Kenney, along with freshman Ben Lathrop round out the top 4, with freshman Brody Henderson to land the fifth spot.

Mad Honey

By Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan

This novel has been cowritten by two very gifted novelists, Jodi Picoult, writer of thirty novels, and Jennifer Boylan who has published some twenty. They have written this book in the voice of two people, Olivia McAfee, the mother of a handsome teenager named Asher Fields, and that of Lily Campanello, a beautiful young girl who has recently relocated with her mother to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school.

This is a book of secrets, lies, murder, complete jury trial and very human covering of all the above under the shadow of family, police, friends and an intense love story. The high and low roads are offered, and described with such accuracy that the book could pass for non-fiction.

There is also a truthful history of the beekeeping business from Olivia’s family’s background told with such detail that it is believable as a history and accounting of another actual bee business and roles that the characters have taken from the beginning of Queen Bee to her death.

The jury is in, and the trial begins with a shocking revelation that Lily is trans. At this point the court delves into the unknown. Much is learned about gender confirmation through the testimony of Dr. Monica Powers, a gender confirmation surgeon from Burlingame, California as she explains the difference in sex and gender in such terms that any layperson could understand but not be embarrassed to discuss or seek clarification. Without revealing too many of the shocks and revelations, it goes without saying that a book concerning murder, family love, teenage love, misinformation and fear makes a very fast moving read. The youth do not understand people and life with its needs for healthy relationships and loyal friendships.

Another unexpected breather is the recipes for honey dishes that are given. Favorites are Bees Knees Cocktail, Kale Salad, Queen Bee Cocktail, Honey Glazed Doughnuts and Honey Pine Nuts and others. A 15- Mind-Stretching-Discussion Question section is included which is guaranteed to give the reader even more to consider. A final plus is the list of references used. This input is the exclamation point for information, as trans, LGBTQ and the Rainbow Alliance are marched out and clarified.

Things spin around, up and down through these very human individuals, but the authors get their point across in quoting Soren Kierkegaard, “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forwards.” There are great risks people will take to become or even to know who they really are. Life is lived at its fullest when the truth about one’s self is known and appreciated, no matter how hard it is to admit that truth and run with it.

Thanks to Full Circle Bookstore for sharing these books with FRIDAY Readers.
